Objectives of the PIC scheme


The PIC scheme was introduced to support businesses (SMEs) that invest in innovation and productivity improvements. Businesses can enjoy a 400% tax deduction or 60% cash payout for investments under six qualifying activities. In Budget 2013, the PIC Bonus was introduced to provide businesses a dollar-for-dollar matching cash bonus on top of the existing PIC tax deductions and/or cash payout.


To qualify for the PIC cash payout, businesses must have:


  1. Incurred PIC-qualifying expenditure during the basis period of the qualifying YA.
  2. Active business operations in Singapore.
  3. Employed and made CPF contributions for at least three local employees. These three local employees must not be sole-proprietors, partners and shareholders who are directors of the company.
